Dai Yuxin says

The Dragon Boat Festival is the darkest day of the year for Shui Jing, and the Dragon Boat Festival is also the eternal pain in Shui Jing's heart.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, Shui Jing would go to the Imperial Garden alone, and sit silently in the Peony Pavilion in the Imperial Garden for two hours.

This day is the birthday of his most beloved eldest son, Shui Rong, and also the first child of Shui Jing and his married wife, the former empress.

The birth of this child brought great shock and surprise to Shui Jing, and also made the young Shui Jing truly feel responsibility and hope for the first time.

From the first time he saw this child, he felt that this child was too extraordinary.

Ordinary children come to this world crying, but Shui Rong steps on the seven stars (there are moles of the Big Dipper on the soles of the feet), shoulders the sun and the moon (there are sun and moon red birthmarks on the left and right shoulders), and comes here with a grin. of the world.

During those times when Shui Rong was there, he would go to his beloved wife's yard to play with Shui Rong in his arms after finishing his official duties. Those were his happiest times.

A person's life is very short, and the happy time is like a shooting star piercing the night sky, shining for a moment, then sinking into endless darkness.

On the Dragon Boat Festival 15 years ago, he hurried to his wife's yard after finishing handling state affairs at the court, and gave the treasure of the palace, an ancient seven-star sword, to his three-year-old eldest son Shui Rong as a birthday present.

At the same time, Shui Rong was canonized as the crown prince, the future heir to the throne.

I once remembered: the young Shui Rong didn't have the strength to lift that precious sword at that time.

But Shui Jing still remembers the water-melting, clear and sweet voice of a child, as well as the solemn expression that is extremely disproportionate to his age: "Thank you, father, my son will never disappoint my father's high expectations. When my son grows up, he will definitely use it This seven-star sword will protect me forever."

Tong Yan Wuji, Shui Jing, who had just ascended the throne, came back from the invisible fierce battle for the throne. His exhausted body and mind have not yet fully recovered, and his tense nerves have not completely relaxed.

Suddenly hearing that the three-year-old eldest son, the crown prince Shui Rong, who was conferred in the early court, said such words suitable for the identity of the prince, he was both surprised and happy, but also a little worried that the words would be heard by people with ulterior motives, and he was jealous.

Shui Jing couldn't help but looked around, couldn't help pointing at Shui Rong's little face, kissed her a few times, covered Shui Rong's mouth, picked him up together with the seven-star sword in his arms, and took him to the royal palace. Play in the garden.

That day, he walked to the Peony Pavilion with Shui Rong in his arms. Just as he put Shui Rong down, a strange wind blew up, flying sand and rocks, making people afraid to open their eyes.

Shui Jing suddenly felt a great pain in his heart as if someone had plucked it. He squatted on the ground covering his heart, and in the blink of an eye, Shui Rong and the seven-star sword in his arms disappeared.

The wife, the queen, was overly sad because of this incident, and died of depression within a few years.

For 15 years, Shui Jing always remembered that Shui Rong was gone from his arms, and he missed Shui Rong all the time.

In the past 15 years, he sent countless strangers to search for it, but there is still no news.

15 years have passed, and people think that water solubility is gone.

Only Shui Jing firmly believes that Shui Rong is still alive, hoping that one day, Shui Rong will suddenly appear in front of her eyes.

Whenever thinking of this, Shui Jing felt extremely guilty.

Shui Rong was his eldest son, the crown prince he had chosen to enshrine not long after he ascended the throne.

Shui Rong is smart and extremely talented.At the age of three, he knew many characters and could recite many difficult and difficult poems and songs. He was the undisputed heir to the throne in the court.

Unfortunately, he has been missing for too long, and there is no sign of his return.

In order to prevent many princes from vying for the position of crown prince, it is also to prevent sons from killing each other and destroying humanity from happening again.Shui Jing adopted the suggestions of the ministers, and in his heart he wanted to express his guilt for his dead wife and give his wife an explanation.Last year, Shui Che, Shui Rong's younger brother, was registered as the crown prince.

Today is the annual Dragon Boat Festival again.

Shui Jing sits alone in the Peony Pavilion, looking at the white clouds that sometimes disperse and gather in the sky, silently thinking about her beloved Shui Rong.

"Father, the Queen Mother invites you to have a meal."

Shui Jing, who was immersed in boundless thoughts, heard the voice, and looked up to see the 16-year-old prince Shui Che, whose face was like a full moon, refreshed, standing in front of him respectfully,

Shui Jing carefully looked at Shui Che in front of him, thinking that if Shui Rong was still there, he would be a handsome young man this year.

Shui Jing sighed long, and came to the Empress Dowager's palace with Shui Che, and saw that his wives, big and small, were all there.

Shui Jing was in a depressed mood, walked up to the Empress Dowager, and said lightly: "Please eat the Empress Dowager first, I'm not hungry at all right now, I don't want to eat."

The queen mother knew what Shui Jing was thinking and didn't care about him.

To be honest, the queen mother can't care about him.

This empress dowager is not Shui Rong's biological mother, she was brought into the palace by the first emperor in his later years, a favored concubine of unknown origin.

The first emperor loved this beloved concubine so much, and when he was about to die, he still reminded Shui Jing that he must respect her as the queen mother and not wrong her.

All good filial piety comes first, and the emperor is a model for the people of the whole country, besides, his mother is long gone.

After all, the harem doesn't care about having one more woman for dinner.

Shui Jing strictly followed his father's last words, respecting this woman as the Queen Mother, taking her as a symbol of filial piety to the former emperor, and supporting her as a living decoration in the harem.

The queen mother smiled kindly and kindly, and said softly and amiably: "Today is a holiday, so eat as much as you want, as it suits the occasion."

Shui Jing sat down lazily, and caught a glimpse of Yuan Chun's well-dressed appearance today.

He couldn't help thinking of the secret report that the Zhen family in Jinling had tried to murder Daiyu on Mount Tai.

According to reports from Daiyu's guards, among the assassins were dozens of dead men with tiger head tattoos on their chests.

He thought of the tiger-headed dead men who murdered Daiyu on the Shangyuan Festival, and thought that these tiger-headed dead men should all be subordinates of Jia Yuanchun's uncle Wang Ziteng.

Wang Ziteng is now in control of the nine provinces, and still has a large part of the military power in his hands.

This Prince Teng has raised so many dead warriors with high martial arts skills. He didn't want to rebel, so why?

Shui Jing looked at the beautiful Yuan Chun and felt that she was a ghost in painted skin, and Wang Ziteng behind her was the king of ghosts.

He decided that he could no longer condone the traitor, he must get rid of the ghost as soon as possible, so that he can be safe and sound.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has a happy event to report to the Emperor today." Concubine Hui coquettishly said while looking at the water mirror, her face was flushed, she seemed a little shy.

Seeing Concubine Hui's appearance like this, Concubine Li teased and said, "Is it a happy event? My sister will tell you soon, let us listen and be happy too."

Seeing Shui Jing's indifferent expression, Concubine Hui squinted at Concubine Li, smiled at Shui Jing and said, "The imperial physician just told me that I was pregnant, how did you know?"

When the queen mother heard this, she smiled all over her face, and beamingly told the queen to send more people to take care of her.

The queen smiled sourly, quickly glanced at Concubine Hui, and turned her eyes to Yuan Chun, her eyes seemed to be filled with great sympathy, and she promised to send more people to take care of Concubine Hui when the Queen Mother returned.

Shui Jing smiled at Yuan Chun indifferently: "As the saying goes, what you eat makes you wise. If Yuan'er is free, you might as well spend more time with Huier, so that Huier will take better care of her."

When Yuan Chun heard the words, he thought of the child in his womb who hadn't seen the light of day, who had been murdered secretly, and disappeared for no apparent reason.The circles of his eyes turned red, and the hatred buried in his heart rose sharply.

She stared at the water mirror with watery eyes, thinking carefully about the intention of his words.

"No! Your Majesty, Elder Sister Yuan is weak, I can't bear to trouble her to accompany me." Concubine Hui blurted out in horror, and resolutely refused.

Concubine Hui's panic further strengthened Yuan Chun's guess that she had murdered her by killing her.

If you don't take this revenge, you are not a gentleman. If you kill me for the rest of your life, I will kill you for the rest of your life.

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "My sister loves my sister so much, it really makes me feel sorry for my sister. I have a century-old ginseng that has taken shape. It was given to me by my mother when she visited me. I’m willing to use it. I’ll give it to Concubine Hui’s younger sister to make up for her body, and I hope she will be healthy and bring more sons to the emperor.”

After finishing speaking, he urged the maid beside her, Luzhu, to go back to Fengzao Palace to get it and give it to Concubine Hui.

Shui Jing even claimed to praise Yuan Chun for being a generous person, and everyone followed suit, even the empress dowager praised Yuan Chun as worthy of the word "virtuous".

With a smile on his face, Shui Jing finished lunch with the Empress Dowager and his wives, ignoring their expectant eyes.He even ignored Concubine Hui's eager eyes, and only smiled gently at Yuan Chun.

He returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone, and immediately issued a profound imperial edict to Wang Ziteng, asking him to assist the local officials to search the Zhen family's house and arrest them all after receiving the edict.And clear away all remnants of the Zhen family as soon as possible, so as not to leave any future troubles.

When Yuan Chun returned to Fengzao Palace, the handsome face full of smiles immediately turned cold, he leaned on the couch, waved all the maids in the room to go out, and said with a frown, "I'm tired."

The palace maid retreated quietly, held the qin and served tea, and said with a smile: "Madam, I took out that old ginseng and packed it a few days ago, and put it on the Duobao Pavilion. Madam said that I would give it to Concubine Hui , I hurriedly told Luzhu where to put the old ginseng, and asked Luzhu to send the old ginseng there."

Yuan Chun rolled his eyes, and asked worriedly: "I always think that Luzhu is too cute, and I can't see anything wrong with her these few years."

Baoqin smiled cleverly and said: "The more people who have no mistakes, the more problems there are. I was about to report to the empress when I learned from the girl in the Queen's Palace that the green pearl originally belonged to Concubine Hui's natal family. The family gave birth to a child. She came in as a rough envoy a few years ago. The chief eunuch saw her handsome appearance and quick hands and feet, so he selected her and sent her to the queen's palace. Maybe the queen knew her origin and asked the chief eunuch to assign her to us. We asked her to deliver things this time, so it can be regarded as returning to the original owner."

Nanny Li in Concubine Hui's palace saw Luzhu come in with things in her hands, she welcomed her into the room with a smile, and asked about Fengzao Palace, but they were all trivial and unimportant things.

Nanny Li opened the box and saw the old ginseng that had taken shape, and asked in surprise: "Why is Jia Yuanchun willing to send such a good thing? Maybe there is poison in it."

Luzhu smiled and said: "Jia Yuanchun's mother sent it in, and it has been placed on the Duobao Pavilion. I have been careful to clean it every day. This time, she is a good person in front of the emperor. She has no free time. I think there should be no problem." .”

When Concubine Hui came back from the Queen Mother, she was very happy to see Old Shen.

When someone does something bad, the victim not only does not notice it, but treats the victim as a friend. This will make the victim feel that he is very capable, and the more he feels a sense of accomplishment in his heart, the easier it is for him to relax his vigilance.

Although Yuan Chun has never studied psychology, he is a genuine psychologist.

The young concubine Hui laughed and said: "That lowly maid, at that time only thought of how to please the emperor and pretend to be a good person in front of people, but now I don't know how much I love her."

As he spoke, he giggled triumphantly and said, "Since he has good intentions, I can't let him down, so why not?"

Nanny Li thought that Jia Yuanchun was just trying to play tricks, and she didn't have time to send someone to poison him, and she didn't dare to send someone over in such an open manner, let alone her own person, Luzhu, who was watching there.

Perhaps it was fate, Concubine Hui missed Jingzhou carelessly this time!

With mockery and sneer, she happily drank the old ginseng soup that Yuanchun sent.

Sleeping until midnight, my stomach hurts like a knife.

The severe pain woke Concubine Hui from her sleep, and Nanny Li found that her lower body was red. When the imperial doctor arrived, the baby in Concubine Hui's belly had already flowed down.

Concubine Hui wanted to cry but had no tears, so she scolded Jia Yuanchun and tossed and tossed until dawn.

The queen came to visit out of duty, and Concubine Hui cried bitterly, saying that there was something wrong with Yuanchun's old ginseng, which caused the child in her stomach to die.

In fact, this was indeed what Yuan Chun did.

This old ginseng, she has baked it for a long time with anti-aging powder, just waiting for it to be used by Concubine Hui one day.

Knowing the news of Concubine Hui's pregnancy, Zheng worried that he would not have a chance to give her a treat.

The emperor pays off!

Unexpectedly, when he fell asleep, the emperor sent him a pillow.

Yuan Chun was ecstatic, and his desire for revenge was finally not in vain.

The queen was very happy in her heart, tried her best to hide the joy in her heart, and went to Yuan Chun to ask questions solemnly.

Yuan Chun looked extremely aggrieved, and argued with red eyes: "The old ginseng was given to my concubine by my mother to make up for my body. Because it is too precious, I have never been willing to use it. Before I gave it to Concubine Hui's sister yesterday, my concubine didn't know Concubine Hui's younger sister is pregnant. When my concubine sent someone to send younger sister Hui, Lao Shen, she was accompanying the queen mother and the emperor with the sisters in the queen mother's room."

The queen is just putting on a show and going through the motions.I wish I could watch the tigers fight across the mountain, watch the excitement, and gain the benefits of being a fisherman, too late to be happy.How could he bother about these two women and take care of their shit?

When Shui Jing heard about Concubine Hui's miscarriage, she just said lightly: "Concubine Hui's incident should be an accident and has nothing to do with Yuan Chun."

When the queen got the water mirror, she let go even more.

She thought about the fact that the old ginseng had already been used by Concubine Hui, and there was no evidence left, so it would be better to have one thing less than one more thing.

What's more, these two women are not good people. They are all women who compete for their husbands. They are happy to eat dogs and go to the sidelines to watch the show.

Concubine Hui, who was born in a wealthy family, has ever suffered such a big loss?
